Started in 1867, the first settlement lasted
only a few years. Since then, there have been bursts of activity
now and then with the latest occurring in the 1940s. The present
Deadwood Lodge is a stopping place for those wishing to explore
the old camp, which is located on the upper Deadwood River behind
the Lodge. There one will find the remains of the mine buildings.
Along the road below the Lodge are the remains of several old
miner cabins.
